Is the PC version confirmed? I read at another place that this one will be console-only.

Yes the PC version is confirmed!
i e-mailed Codemasters asking them about this :
Hi ,
i'd like to know if CMR07 is coming to PC aswell ? or is it going to be exclusive for next generation consoles only ?

thanks.

& heres thier answer :
Thansk for your email.

CMR07 will be released on PC as well as next-generation consoles - we wouldn't abandon our loyal PC fraternity!

Yours,

Considering that Ubisoft and Jowood dumped SF, weŽll have to wait and see what Codemasters does. I personally donŽt care what copy protection theyŽll use because IŽll buy the game anyway.

I remember a press report where they were talking about it back last month or so. It was around the same time when Ubisoft pulled the plug on SF because of the lawsuit. 10tacle will release GTR2 in August and it will be interesting to see if theyŽll drop SF. The most recent versions of Securom are pretty close to the SF level anyway, so it doesnŽt really matter much anymore.

funny thing is that securom use a driver also and installs hidden files sometimes. which doesn't seem to bother most people

Maybe because it doesn't seem to be any burner destroyed because of securom, while there have been quite a lot connected to SF...

That said, yeah, securom could still be problematic. *If* it, like SF, [potentially] allows user programs to run at system level (that is, with complete privileges), then it could constitute quite a hole in the security of the system.

But, until reports come up with cases of burner destroyed and/or virus/worms appear that use securom (hypotetical) security holes, then it is perfectly safe to use, so I don't have a problem with it.

People aren't complaining about SF because of its (pretended) unbreakability, but because of the problems (often costing money to the users) that it creates.
